The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Throughout human history as our species has faced the frighten terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are and where we are going; it has been the authority (the political, the religious, and the educational authorities) who have attempted to comfort us. By giving us order, rules, and regulation. Informing or forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question these authorities. THINK FOR YOURSELF…

Listened to it last night. The whole episode was really quite good (aside from the usual Skype delays and mix-ups; might want to do a bit more of the "Back to you Jimmy/Rachel" type thing to help people coordinate that). The banter back and forth was fun, too. I lol'd a few times, I must admit.

Great interview there, Brian. I think with the whole Atheism+ shenanigans going on, people are going to be wary of anything that smells like that, but I think you took just the right approach of not being too "Rah! Rah!" about it, and being explicitly open to disagreement and different opinions. The voting thing I think is a really good idea, especially. Been reading a bunch on Wikipedia about different voting systems and different criteria for better/worse systems, such as the Condorcet criteria. Fascinating stuff. The whole two-party 'democracy' thing is such a joke considering that there are vastly superior voting systems that have been tried and true for a long time now.

Thanks for the listen. Not sure if you caught the other post but this Sunday we will have a few musicians on. Jeffrick sat in on an interview with Shelley Segal and that was great. I will post a link the day of so that those interested can join in.

It is a live call in show by the way. I would love to have more RRS people on now that I have cracked opened the barrel..
